Note : In order to know which drivers package to use, match the audio specifications of your motherboard with the apps or ask me.
TIPS :
If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).
If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).
If you experience crackling, popping, audio stutter
Disable hibernation (Fast Startup included).

Hi,
I do not understand your question knowing that Playback/Recording Devices settings are visible in your screenshot (circled in red below) :

This is the settings i was talking about
that settings are missing in my pc

Hi,
It is locked by design (Headphones & Speakers separated by default). You can find the reason for this locking from your motherboard's specs page : "*The rear panel Line out port does not support spatial audio. If you wish to use spatial audio make sure to connect your audio output device to the audio jack on the front panel of your chassis." (If you want more details, please contact ASUS support).

Hi thanks for the quick reply
Well then i guess the problem is solved, its just normal in this boards

Hello MoKiChU,
If it is locked by design, do you perhaps have any idea why mine are always connected? I got a Z790-F Wifi, when i connect my headphones to the front jack, the audio keeps playing through my speakers but it also plays through my headphones. or is just a case of a bad Mobo?

Thread, post & drivers package updated.

6.3.9600.2355 in the same build number,
Are there still internal updates?

Trying to hunt down some stubborn BSODs, and my realtek drivers in device manager are showing 2022 dates, despite using the official files on https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z790-hero-model/helpdesk_bios/.
Would any of these drivers be a possible updated version for this board? I've had other driver-scan software pop up realtek as out of date, but the computer generally BSODs, shortly after they scan.

Thank you for posting driver updates, I have ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI that uses ALC4080, Tried downloading this update from the first page with clean install but its failing any ideas ?

Hi,
You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :
You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread.
Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.
